Reviews
Fantastic 3 night trip down the Zambezi. Wonderful, skilled well informed guides - Inspirational.
The Tamarind 3 night canoe safari was done in a school reunion group. I’d done the same trip 3 times previously, most recently in 2019 with family - my wife and 3 teenage children, with Natureways. The previous trip had been magnificent, and I made sure that I did it again (July ‘22) with a group of old school chums. Again it was a fantastic experience. The Zambezi river is a mighty waterway, and the canoeing down from Chirundu to Mana showcases raw, natural Africa at its best. The guides are exceptionally well qualified, knowledgeable and escort the canoes through a wild habitat in a very professional and measured way. The scenery, flora and fauna are spectacular. Camping on the islands in the river at night is a treat, after a full day of canoeing, accompanied by tasty hot dinners rustled up by the guides, with accompanying wine.
A very real, very natural African experience done with comfort and excellent guidance.

Reliable and well organised.
Great to deal with, excellent communication and helpful advice. They delivered - and exceeded - expectations and we had a wonderful, memorable trip. All the staff are great. Would use again without hesitation. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Canoe Safari!
My wife and I went on the Tamarind canoe safari from Chirundu to Mana in July this year as part of a group of oldies on a reunion of our high school class from many decades ago. The three guides, Kenneth, Manu and Richard, as well as Jenny in the back-up vehicle, were highly professional and amazing at multi-tasking - keeping us safe, imparting their rich knowledge of the area, entertaining us, putting up with our eccentricities, and last but not least rustling up terrific meals in the middle of the African bush. This experience should be on everyone's bucket list!

Africa at its best, memories that last a lifetime
We had a wonderful time at Mana Pools and Chitake Springs. It's a beautiful place and we had lots of wonderful interactions with the animals. Our guides, Jim and Kenny, were top class.
Fabulous experience
The 6 days canoe trip on the Zambezi river from Kariba Gorge to Mana Pools was fabolous!
Everything was excellent: the canoe trip has been absolutely magical, our guides Emmanuel and Kenneth were professional and super-good all the time, they took good care of us every minutes of the journey. We were to girlfriends and felt safe all the time. The guides were so experienced that we just enjoyed the beauty around us.
This canoe trip has been one of the best thing I have ever done in Africa!

Emanuel was so knowledgable, responsible and interesting, as well as being a really lovely person.
Four of us did the day night safari. Emanual the lead guide was outstanding, s was Richard the second in charge. Crispen was still training but he was excellent- really eagle eyes! Everyday was a new adventure- the river could be quiet and tranquil then the wind would blow up and give us a bit of physical work- nothing too challenging. There were literally 100's of hippos and Emanuel led us safely between the pods with a few exciting moments!! The food was great and plentiful. Our tents were fabulous and sleeping under the African stares such a treat.

Kariba to Mana Pools - Fisheagle Safari
My son and I have just come off a 6 day/5 night Canoe Safari along the Mighty Zambezi River. And Wow! What an experience! The staff were amazing. Kenneth, Omega and Clive had our backs the whole way. Camp food and sleeping arrangements were excellent. Ablutions were basic - badza for digging a hole and burying and mathches fio burning the paper. Number ones were fine,

an experience of a lifetime
one of the last hidden untouched treasures of the world. if you love the outdoors - this is a must.
You just need to turn up and Natureways does the rest - very professional, friendly, and caring.
If you are having doubt - dont, just do it.
